Today The Pokémon Company announced that a Mega-Evolved form of fan-favorite Pokemon Sableye will appear in Pokemon Omega Ruby and Pokemon Alpha Sapphire.

Sableye is a Pokémon who was first discovered in the Hoenn region, which has now been confirmed as the location for the new Pokemon remakes. Sableye is classed as a Dark and a Ghost-type Pokémon. Mega Sableye has concentrated all of the energy from it’s Mega Evolution into the jewel which adorns its chest. Once Sableye has Mega-Evolved, this jewel will swell and become detached from its body.Mega Sableye uses the jewel as a powerful defensive tool in battle. From behind the shelter of the jewel, it can readily exploit the opponent’s weaknesses and take advantage of any openings. It is said that the jewel hardens into such strength that no attack can even make a scratch!

Pokemon Omega Ruby & Pokemon Alpha Sapphire will both launch on the Nintendo 3DS family of systems and the Nintendo 3DS eShop across North America on November 21st 2014.
